So I just won the lottery, what keyboard should I get?

[Wildcard]

So I purchased a lottery ticket while I was visiting in San Jose, and it looks like I might have won.

So since money is no longer an issue, what keyboard should I buy?

[Belfong]

The best. HHKB Type-S.

[regack]

I have a pristine Model M that I'll let go for $4.5m... just shoot me a PM.

[SpAmRaY]

pay off all your bills and taxes first

And if you have enough left over, one of everything

Hmm seems a bit high, I've seen some kishsavers go in the 2.3m range lately. Just sayin'

[dragonxx21]

Please. You don't have time for keyboards now that you are rolling in the $$$$. Focus on the high class things like expensive wine cellers, yachts with heli-pads and multiple high rise buildings.

[CPTBadAss]

Since money is no longer an issue, what keyboard should I buy?

Buy your buddy CPTBadAss a Kingsaver and a G80-5000.

Seriously though? I think you should get a custom like a KMAC2 or LZ-GH if you're into MX. A Realforce 10AE if you're into Topre. A Filco Zero/Kingsaver if you're into Alps. An 1391401, SSK, or AT F if you're into Buckling Springs. Binge's M15 looks cool as well.

I hear Topre is pretty good, so will the HHKB Type-S really do it for me, or is there something else I should go after?

[Tym]

You could have "won" with a ticket at $5 how much did you win?

I have a Dell RD for apprx. 5.6$

[Computer-Lab in Basement]

On the way to work this morning I was actually thinking "what would happen if a GHer won the lottery?"

My suggestion:

Buy Unicomp. Make SSKs.

If money left over, buy every mechanical you can get your hands on.

EDIT: And plz, buy me a Model F AT, a Topre board, and a Korean custom! )

That remains to be said, but for now I'm shopping for a nice a$$ keyboard

[CPTBadAss]

The Topre I liked best was the Realforce 10AE. I'm not that familiar with Topre but I think the Realforce 55g Uniforms would be similar.

Ok, ok, I can drop it down to $2.1m

( sorry, I have nothing real to contribute to this thread )

[Candyflip]

Buy the HHKB hg and raffle it

We're on the same thought plain, the first idea that popped into my head was "hey I wonder if unicomp is for sale?"

[SpAmRaY]

Well you could buy a Type-S, a regular HHKB a couple realforce 55g boards and give them all a spin and if you decided you could mod them also.

[Tym]

Well good luck woldc a rd, have fun!

Yes, I like this. Buy Unicomp, hire CPTBadAss to work for you. We'll take over the world, one SSK at a time

[dragonxx21]

Datahand.

World domination had been a thought, and I like your angle!

Also if serious be careful who you tell you actually won the lottery and watch out for scammers.

Sounds like if money is no object, I should be looking for something in the Topre realm, however that Datahand sounds promising

It doesn't matter. If you don't like it buy something else and give me the Type-S

[Wildcard]

Datahand.

Ok so that's 2 for the HHKB Type-S. Are they really solidly built, or should I buy a few thousand just in case one of them breaks?

[JPG]

You just invest your money wisely: Pay someone to create a custom case and pcb to make a new Model F with the layout of your choice. you could make one with a 60% layout, one with an ergodox/acidfire/ergosplithandniceness and maybe one with a bigger layout. For sure, the built quality should be AT LEAST as good as an original model F and weight at least 6 pounds for the 60%.

[CPTBadAss]

Oh and just a suggestion, so please don't take this the wrong way, but maybe you can donate some money to GeekHack?

[JPG]

Unless he won 200$ lol. He never said he won a lot 

[SpAmRaY]

Well if you wanted to you could buy out the MOQ and get us some realforce numberpads....

Also please run some group buys for GMK key sets....

x2. Donate a few mil, enough to buy everyone a Clack at street price. )

So if money were no object, how does everyone feel about some Model F development. I have to agree the Model F's I own are much better to type on then my Model M's IMO.

This is true. Let us in on the details!!

I might have enough to commission some new works perhaps? I wonder if we could get CF on a retainer?

[CPTBadAss]

Yes please!

Also, add this to our Unicomp business plan.

It would be a good opportunity to get rid of guns, everyone would be armed and dangerous anyway, carrying their model F around. So you could also win the Nobel for peace, and another one for Health, getting rid of RSI and other "typing" diseases!

When someone receives a windfall of a huge amount of cash, they don't spend it, they invest it. At that point, they no longer have to work for money - their money works for them. They can probably live comfortably off the dividends of their wise investments, without the expenditure of the original sum.

When it comes to investments, more risk = greater potential reward, but with the caveat that the original asset may be lost, if there is a downturn. That's why you diversify your investment portfolio, with investments of varying degrees of risk.

FYI, keyboards probably aren't a great investment opportunity. Keyboard manufacturing could be, at least in the short term.

As to the original question, get a custom tuned keyboard. Metal housing, individually selected switches, etc.

I'm actually a licensed broker, however I don't really do anything with it (I work in IT now). Presently, I'm mainly wanting to "invest" my time in keyboards.

I've often thought IF I won millions I would still come to work just like always....I'd go crazy being at home.

I gave my boss the finger this morning and he just laughed it off. WTF?

IF I won millions, I'd buy my way into a party college and have fun.

Then I'd buy a house, and a trip to the moon.

Oh, and for a mere $95,000, you can buy a ticket (pre-order) for a ride into (sub-orbital) space. XCOR will be moving to our neighboring city, Midland, TX.
